Winch
The winch is an accessory that may be applied to the crane (or to the fly-jib) making it possible to
move loads by winding/unwinding a cable around a rotating drum equipped with a hydraulic safety
brake. The accessory thereore makes it possible to improve the possibilities movements of the crane.
Since it is a hydraulic device, its application requires that the crane be equipped to support it and it
must be connected to rapid fittings ed elettrici.
The fitting of this accessory onto the crane must be carried out according to general safety
rules stated in chapter “2 - Safety rules and notes”.
The accessories described in this section are a general list. Refer to the specific instructions according
to the crane model, version and configuration purchased.
In case of difficulties in identifying the exact configuration purchased or for explanations regarding
the instructions for use, do not hesitate to contact your dealer / or your service network.
General description
The main installation elements include:
winch (A)
transmissions (B): applied in cetain points of the crane to guide the cable correctly (THEY MAY
NOT BE PROVIDED)
transmission head (C): applied to the end ofe the crane, to transmit the crane cable vertically
to the load
electric and-stroke device (D): fitted on EEC-cranes only
counter-weight (E): applied to the end of the cable, to keep yhe cable under constant tension so
prevent it from being damaged while winding/unwinding, and especially in the absence of handing
load
rope block (F): this allows lifting with a number of pulls* greater yhan one
hook (G)
Transmission head, transmissions and rope block are all marked with their own weight if greater
than 30Kg.

Accessories 07/A MO3L022_2
Driving on roads
Before driving on roads, make sure the end of the cable is acrefully fastened to a sufficient support,
and slightly taut.
Rope block, transmission head, transmissions and pins must be positioned and carefully fastened to
avoid creating a hazard. The possibility of keeping these parts connected to the crane while driving
depends on the configuration and the maximum overall dimensions allowed by current regulatons. It
is the operator’s responsability to ensure compliance with these regulations and make sure that the
driving configuration is correct and safe.
Movement
The choice of lifting means to be used is up to the operator, and depends on the weight of the parts
(rope block, transmissions, etc.). For connection points, you may use hoks and rings provided on the
part as long as you use protective gloves.
Controls description
The logic and function of each lever is indicated by schematic symbols at each control station
(chapter “4 - Controls and instruments”). For a description, refer to chapter “4 - Controls and
instruments”.
Opening and closing the crane with winch

The operations for opening and closing the crane remain the same, the only thing to keep in mind is
to make sure that there is no interference between the crane and the various winch components. In
addition, once the extensions have been retracted, you must fasten the end of the rope to an appro-
priate support and keep it slightly taut.

Working conditions
Loading diagram and configurations

It is necessary to observe the loading diagram A
for lifting with winch, in particular as concerns

the number of the pulls of the cable, the position
of the transmissions, the configuration and the
outreaches allowed.
It is the operator’s responsability to ensure that
the configuration with winch coincides with the
requirements given.
CAUTION
You may cause structural demage if you fail to respect the configurations, number of
pulls, position and number of transmissions described.
CAUTION
You may cause malfunctions in winding/unwinding the cable, with possible damage
caused by an incorrect angle, if you fail to observe the out reach described.
α α α
Preliminary checks
Check the efficiency and function of the transmissions, rope block, hook. In particular, the lines of the
cable holding the rope block must be as vertical as possible, without crossing or hitting each other.
Check the efficiency of split-pins and locks in

general.
Check the safety devices on the winch.
CAUTION
Should you find any malfunctions, it is strictly forbidden to proceed with running.
Operating instructions
PROHIBITION
Use thew crane to lift loads greater than those allowed by the winch capacity.
These situations are supervised by safety devices (if fitted).
Fmax
<Fmax >Fmax
PROHIBITION
Use the winch to lift loads greater than the maximum crane capacity according to the
loading diagram.
Fmax
<Fmax >Fmax
When winding the cable around the drum, make sure that it winds smoothly without crossing over
itself. Also avoid winding if the cable is not tout.
CAUTION
Abnormal wear and sudden settling may occur on the cable if you fail to observe this
restriction, leading to rapid damage to the clable itself. The drum may also wear out
the cable.
While winding the cable, we recommend that the distance d between the end of the crane and the
counter-weight non be below 1 meter, and while unwinding not be below 3 wrapped wires.
>3xφ <3xφ
d≥1m d<1m
Before lifting with winch, position the crane so that the cable is vertical over the load under tensive
stress. Lifting from ground must be carried out slowly and preferably by means of the winch. Avoid
such movement through crane booms and extensions. This could lead to dangerous side shiftings
of the load, particulary with crane in vertical position, and to unforeseen stresses to stability.
PROHIBITION
To lift with the winch with the crane arms bent backwards.
When working with the winch, with or without an attached load, to avoid swinging the cable you must
move the crane at very low speeds and the utmost caution, especially while slewing.
When is possible, we recommend to limit the distance between crane end part and the load, to reduce
oscillations as much as possible.
Avoid moving to close to the winch, cable and other moving parts during operation. This could lead
to dangerous for the operator. In particular, aviod loose sleeves or unbuttoned coveralls or aprons,
as these could get caught in the cable or moving parts, dragging the person wearing them.
The loads lifted by winch stated in the lifting diagram are
guaranteed when the crane is first put in the correct position
and then loads are lifted by winch.
With mainly vertical configurations, lifting the loads may
not be assured, if the loads are connected to the rope in
extending motion.
λ=≤∼20°
PROHIBITION
With oscillating return heads connected to crane
and / or jib hook joint it is forbidden to lift the
winch with boom inclination lower than angle
λ. This is because the rope can interfere with
the structural parts and be damaged. This angle
depends on the type of crane / jib and the type
of return heads.
CAUTION
With the oscillating return heads connected to
crane hook joint be careful and limit the speed
of return/exit with crane in vertical position for
angles greater than about 60°. In such a configu-
ration the return head and the ends of extension
tubular frames may scrape against each other.
In these configurations it is not recommended
to retract and exit the extensions with the load >60°
hanging on the rope.
Safety device
Overload device
In case of winch fitted, the overload function remains operative through DMU3000 device, should it
be installed on the crane.
Load limiter
This is a device to impede overloading the winch if its maximum allowed pull is exceeded. This can
be checked by using the winch or carne to lift a load not allowed in the corresponding diagram.
Operation
When the maximum pull is reached in the cable connected to the winch causing all overload move-
ments to stop. In particular, the crane cannot be moved nor the winch lifted. The only allowed move-
ment which makes it possible to reset the others is to lower the winch.
Once the device has been tripped, immediately remove the causes of the overload block. Pay colser
attention to the loading diagram on the machine.
Deactivating the device

If the crane remains stuck due to a breakdown in this device, it may be deactivated (refer to DMU3000
Manual), (for cranes equipped with this device).
All lifting operations are strictly forbidden after the device has been tripped. The crane and winch
wouldd then be running without this important device. After deactivation, the only allowed movements
are those necessary to return the machine to its resting position and remove it from the work area.
Thereafter, consultan EFFER service center immediatly. The manufacturer shall not be held respon-
sible for damages caused by failure to heed this warning.
Rope limit stop device

The purpose of this device is to prevent impact and interference while winding the cable between
its two ends (hook or rope block) around the crane transmission head. In the same way, it prevents
the cable from being unwound too far, ensuring a minimum number of loops around the drum. We
recommend avoiding tripping the device uselessly, as this leads to oscillation and stress.
Operation
When winding (lifting), when the counter-weight controls the microswitch, the device is tripped and
drains out the oil, preventing all movement of the crane and cable winding. The only allowed move-
ment which makes it possible to reset the others is to unwind (lower) the cable.
When unwinding (lowering), when the roller controls the microswitch, the device is tripped, preventing
all movement of the crane and cable unwinding. The only allowed movement which makes possible
to reset the others is to wind the cable.
Functional check
Without a load, trip the device during winding and unwinding, making sure that it works as described
above.
Deactivation
For instructions on deactivating the device and related requiements, refer to DMU3000 Manual (for
cranes equipped with this device).

General warnings
Before using the crane it is obligatory to have read and understood the foregoing chapters, especially
chapter “2 - Safety regulations and warnings”. If any doubts remain, contact an EFFER technician
directly.
Pre start-up checks and verifications

For correct use and observance of the safety parameters, each working operation must be preceded
by the following checks:
- correct tightening of the crane/chassis/sub-chassis anchoring tie-rods;
- free movement of the control levers;
- correct connection between quick couplings and electrical connections;
- check of hydraulic system;
- check for any oil leaks from pipes, joints and valves;
- intactness of valves and pipes;
- functionality of flexible tubes;
- inspection of the metalwork for any splits or fissures, with special attention being paid to welded
areas (discontinuity or cracks in the paintwork may be a warning of structural damage);
- check lifting hook intactness and functionality of movement;
- efficiency of the lifting accessories;
- intactness and legibility of diagrams, symbols and notices displayed on the machine;
- functionality of safety devices.
caution
On resuming work after a pause or after momentarily leaving the machine, check that
the safety devices set before leaving have not been modified and that the machine has
not been vandalised or tampered with.
General warnings
During use
- The operator must take up such a position as to have control over the trajectory of the load and
over the area where handling takes place;
- it is forbidden to move the crane arm and/or the load over the operator and/or persons present in
the working area;
- it is strictly forbidden to touch moving parts;
- do not use the crane for purposes other than those envisaged by the Manufacturer;
- always check beforehand that functioning of the machine and all its units, including auxiliary units,
do not create dangerous situations for persons, property or animals;
- use the personal protection devices envisaged by the accident prevention regulations in force;
- should it be necessary to throw the emergency switch, reset the production cycle only after having
eliminated the risk conditions.
Warnings about the system

If the crane is to function well the hydraulic system fluid must, while running, have a limit viscosity of
between 100 e 12 cSt (recommended interval 70÷20 cSt).
For example:
For VG 46 type fluid (see table in the Maintenance section) corresponds to limit temperature intervals
while running of between 25 and 75 °C (recommended interval 30÷60 °C). In any case the limit for cold
starting is 1000 cSt (-5° with VG 46). Never start up the crane with fluid temperature below -20°C.
The fluid occasional overheating limit cor-

responds to a viscosity limit of 10 cSt (80 °C 01504209
with VG 46); while running, never exceed a
temperature of 80 °C.
It is important to choose the right type of fluid
according to the surrounding temperature and
the kind of work (see table in the Maintenance
section). The use of type HLP/ISO is recom-
mended.
With the fluid cold, at the start of the cycle, the
filter block indicator may suggest a maintenance
intervention. Wait a few minutes. If the indicator
persists, proceed with maintenance in accord-
ance with the manual..
For surrounding temperatures below or equal
to 0°C, the fluid must be preheated to the mini- 01504208
mum functioning temperature (250 cSt at 10°C
with fluid VG46). The preheating methods are
described in the section “Cold start” described
in the following pages.
General warnings
caution
With a fluid temperature less than the minimum operating temperature, correspond-
ing to viscosities greater than 250 cSt (10°C with fluid VG46), conditions are created
for malfunctioning of certain components and devices (radio-control not active, pump
cavitation at high revs, reduced performance of the FPI device etc.).
N.B. With device PVG32 Danfoss it is normal (and safe) that in these conditions of
fluid temperature the first activating of a lever requires considerable force whereas
the same movement immediately afterwards requires much less.
caution
If the fluid temperature tends to exceed 80°C you must contact an EFFER Authorised
Workshop, which is indispensable for checking the installation and/or suitability of
the heat exchanger in the following cases:
a - high surrounding temperature;
b - continuous production conditions with pauses that are few and brief, especially in
the case of hydraulic jib configurations and more than 3 extensions.
caution
Maintain the jack limit device in accordance with the prescriptions described. This
manoeuvre, protracted out of proportion, further heats the fluid and may cause risk
situation and malfunctioning of the control levers (blocking the stroke).
Use sequences
Start-up
- Set the parking brake.
- Start the vehicle (or auxiliary) engine.
- Engage the power take-off.
- Make the vehicle driver’s cabin inaccessible.
- Chuck the drive wheels.
- Enable the crane’s electrical functions from the main cut-out (A).
- Check the position of the emergency buttons.
- Enable stabilisation movements with the lever of one of the switches (B).
Cold start
With surrounding temperature equal to or below 0°, you must act as follows:
- start the vehicle (or auxiliary) engine at low revs;
- engage the power take-off;
- do not use the control levers for 2-5 minutes;
- put the crane in lifting set-up (traverses and stabiliser feet fully extended and resting on the ground
- see subsequent paragraphs for methods). Open the crane and put it into horizontal position,
aligning the second arm with the first (for method see subsequent sections);
- carry out limits with second arm jack fully extended, holding the control lever half way (alternatively
you can carry out the ascent limit of a foot jack with the crane folded).
Continue the operation until the fluid reaches the minimum working temperature (10-15 °C with VG46
fluid). Proceed as for normal start-up (see above).
caution
Maintain the jack limit devices in accordance with the prescriptions described. This
manoeuvre, protracted out of proportion, further heats the fluid and may cause risk
situation and malfunctioning of the control levers (blocking the stroke).

Greasing and lubrication
Proceed with lubricating the set areas on the crane indicated with the ////// symbol, the equipment
and accessories according to the manufacturer’s recommendations regarding the types of grease
and oil indicated.
You will need different tools based on the zone to be lubricated:
- Pressure grease pump - Oiler
- Brush
When using pressure grease pumps, open the plastic safety guard of the lubricator and close it
upon completion.
Use grease type EP2 (Extreme pressure – consistency 2) according to the technical specifica-
tions given below.
Recommended grease: Nilex 2 (Nils) *

Alternative grease FUCHS LUBRITECK: STABYL AX 2
AGIP: ROCOL SAPPHIRE AQUA 2
AGIP: AC 2
Main features required in case of use of grease from other manufacturers:
Consistency NLGI (IP 50) (ASTM D217): 2 Inspissator: compound aluminium
Temperature of use: -20/+150°C (DIN 51502)

Minimum carrier capacity: 3000N (welding force DIN
51350-4) - 40lb (testTimken ASTM 2509)
Drop point: ca 240°C (DIN 51801)
As a rule, grease shall have the following excellent characteristics: resistance to oxidation, water-
proof, stability, protection against corrosion, adhesiveness, fluidity on long term.
Note Specific additives inside the grease (varying according to the manufacturer)
affect the value of the greasing intervals.
THE USE OF GREASES BASED ON ALUMINIUM IS PRESCRIBED.
Do not mix lithium based greases with aluminium based ones. When you change
from one kind to the other you need to completely eliminate the grease to be
replaced, through a plentiful first greasing.
Note Do NOT use grease with Molibdene Bisulphide.

In order to grease the hydraulic extensions tubulars and the stabilisers tubulars you can use minor
performing greases. Grease type EP2 is recommended.
For the greasing of the winch rope please use special greases for ropes (normally spray).Grease
type EP2 is allowed.
The type of oil for the reduction unit of the rotation unit is SAE 80W/90 API GL5 with yield tem-
perature less than or equal to –35°.
For oil lubrication, use class SAE 30 oil (for max 20°C room temperatures) and SAE 90 oil (for
more than 20°C room temperatures) according to the room temperature.
Note

NILS ATOMIC RH
Greasing and lubrication
Greasing
Observe the warnings that follow:
- Clean the points to be greased before actually doing so, otherwise any dirt present could be
pushed in with the lubricant causing early wear and anomalies of the parts.
- Using the grease pump, inject grease into the points established until grease
spills out of the ends. Do this a number of times in various points of the pin
to be certain that its whole surface is fully lubricated. Clean away the excess
grease.
- Spread the grease evenly using a brush.
Lubricating jobs
- Using a suitable oiler, apply the oil in the parts in which there is any contact or
sliding movement of the pin and levers.
Hinge pins
Press gently to the low the end of the crane (i.e. put it on a
wooden board) to be sure that all the pin surface is lubricated.
We recommend you grease several times and in different
positions.
Slewing system
To correctly execute the greasing shall be made several times by placing the crane column in differ-
ent angular positions.
When provided, the greasing points are joined in a centralised manifold.
1) Slewing ring/gear motor system
- grease the teeth on the column pinion, inserting a small brush in the appropriate opening.
- grease the upper and lower bushing.
2) Pinion/gear motor system
- Grease the teeth on the slewing ring, inserting a brush in the appropriate opening on the column.
- Grease the swivel ring spheres at the appropriate points.
Greasing and lubrification
1) Slewing ring/gear motor system
2) Pinion/gear motor system

Topping and changing oil of gear box

Re-fill by means of plug A. When the correct oil level has been reached, the oil will come out of
the plug A. To drain the used oil refer to the regulations in force in the Country where the crane
is used.
00762207
00762228
drain plug
drain plug
Hydraulic extensions
Clean the surfaces and remove any abrasive material (earth, sand, shavings) using a spatula and
also remove the old grease.
Grease externally the tubulars in the low part (less in the upper and side parts).
Grease internally the tubulars in the upper part (less in the lower and side parts).
In order to internally grease use the side holes in the tubulars (when provided) and the back
closing plate slots.
Grease the sliding block area when present, with extensions inside, also through two specific
greasing points.
Stabiliser tubular sections

Grease the pipes on the lower sliding surfaces.
When accessible, grease the interior of the fixed pipe in the upper and lower sliding surfaces.
Winch cables
Cable servicing on a regular basis ensures the perfect operational efficiency of the crane, and
increases the cable operational life.
Metallic cables must be lubricated periodically, according to the crane use.
Lubricants for servicing are listed in the oil table.
Note Cable is submitted to dust and dirt causing wear and tear. Clear it regularly,
when particularly dirty, with brush.
Transmission heads, transmission block

With a grease pump, lubricate the bearing pin on the pulleys for various angular positions to cover
360°, the grease must come out of the part opposite the greaser.
Winch
(See separate manual).
Changing oil when servicing the filters
Recommended hydraulic oils

To ensure the perfect operational efficiency of the crane, the oil in the hydraulic system must have a
limit viscosity of between 100 and 12 cSt during the working phase (recommended interval 70 ÷ 20
cSt).
For example:
For oil type VG 46, this corresponds to limit temperature intervals during the working phase of between
25 and 75 °C (recommended interval 30 ÷ 60 °C). Whatever the case, the cold starting limit is 1000
cSt (-5° with VG 46) and the crane must never be started when the oil temperature is lower than –20
°C. The irregular overheating limit of the oil corresponds to a limit viscosity of 10 cSt (80° C with oil
VG 46) and the temperature of 80 °C must never be exceeded during the working phase.
It is of crucial importance to choose the correct type of oil based on the ambient temperature and type
of working conditions. Do not compromise. You are recommended to use oil type HLP/ISO.
When the oil is still cold at the beginning of the cycle, the oil filter-clogging indicator may indicate the
need for maintenance. Wait a few minutes and if the indication still persists, carry out maintenance
as instructed herein.
When the ambient temperature is lower than or equal to 0 °C, the oil needs to be pre-heated to be
able to reach the minimum working temperature (250 cSt at 10°C with oil VG 46). The oil pre-heating
methods are described in the “Cold starting” section described in the pages that follow.
In all cases, observe the range of temperature/viscosity values of the oil illustrated in the graph
below:
operating range
Recommended
Viscosity in mm²/s or cSt
Temperature °C
ISO Reference temperature
Observe the following limits:

In general, the hydraulic oil shall have excellent features regarding corrosion, lubrication, air sepa-
ration, foamy ratio, gaskets and pipes neutrality, viscosity and temperature ratio (HLP/ISO).
- Limit irregular viscosity (overheating) 10cSt
- Limit cold starting viscosity 1000 cSt
- Working viscosity 100x12cSt (recommended 70 ÷ 20 cSt)
- Oil purity class 15/12 (ISO4406)
CAUTION
Oil temperatures lower than the minimum working temperature, corresponding to a
viscosity of more than 250 cSt (10°C with oil VG 46), create the conditions for anomalies
in some components and devices (radio remore control not active, pump cavitation at
high rpm, lower performance of FPI device, etc.).
CAUTION
If the temperature of the oil tends to exceed 80°C, contact an authorised EFFER work-
shop. It is indispensable to have the installation and/or suitability of the heat exchanger
checked in the following cases:
a – High ambient temperatures
b – Long working hours with very few breaks, especially in configurations with hydraulic
joint and more than 3 extensions.
Below is an indicative table based on the ambient temperature during the hours of work.
Note Use hydraulic oil model HLP/ISO.
Ambient temperature (indicative) -20°C÷0°C -5°C÷30°C +30°C÷45°C
ISO VG Classification VG 15 VG 46 VG68
(Viscosity at 40°C in cSt) VG 32
CAUTION
Do NOT use biodegradable oils unless they are the type approved by EFFER. Do
however remember that even if these oils are more compatible with the environment
compared to traditional ones they still cannot be thrown away outdoors.
Do not mix different types of oil together, as this could alter the envisaged character-
istics.
Cleaning and replacing the filters

The pump must always be switched off and the oil must never be hot when replacing and clean-
ing the filters.
Identify mainly:
1. return filter
2. delivery filter (when mounted)
2. air filter
Return filter (type 1)

The replacement shall be made paying attention to the fact that no impurities shall be introduced
during the assembly and disassembly:
- remove the screws (A) on the filter cover;
- disassemble the filter body by unscrewing the fixing screws (B) on the tank;
- take the cartridge out and clean inside the filter body;
- fit a new cartridge.
Assemble again by operating contrarywise paying attention to the seal gaskets (C).

Replacing the hydraulic oil

In compliance with all stated in the maintenance schedules given herein, the oil is to be replaced
in the following manner:
- The oil temperature must be 10÷20°C.
- with the crane folded down, shut-off the tap of the suction hose leading to the pump;
- open the top oil cap, remove the drain cap, unscrewing it with a suitable key and drain the oil into
a container placed underneath it beforehand;
- once the tank is empty, dismantle the return filter in the top part of the tank using suitable keys;
- inspect the state of the internal surfaces of the tank through the attachment hole of the filter, using
a battery-operated lamp for a better view (ensure there are no rusty points or dirt). If any of these
conditions are noticed, clean the inside of the tank using diesel fuel being extremely careful it does
not enter the oil suction hose. It is advisable therefore to pour just a little bit of fuel at a time into
the tank through the top hole on the opposite side of the suction hole.
To be able to do this job better, it is advisable to remove the suction hose when cleaning the
tank.
- using the battery-operated lamp, ensure no cleaning liquid is left in the tank;
- fit the filter and the return hose back in place;
- turn off the drain plug but not too tight and make sure of the special washer efficiency: replace
it if it is damaged;
- fill the tank right up to the top level with new oil, of the type previously described, through the filling
cap. Pour the oil in gradually so that the air in the tank is released;
- open the tap of the suction hose leading to the pump;
- dispose of spent oil according to current environmental laws.
CAUTION
It is important to drain as much of the old oil out of the tank as possible, especially if
the new oil is a different type.
Bleeding the air from the hydraulic circuit

During the hydraulic circuit maintenance some hydraulic cylinders/hoses may be emptied; you
may have air inside causing temporary bad working.
In order to avoid these inconveniences you have to:
- move all the cylinders slowly, taking them to the end-of-stroke position in one direction and the
other but without creating excessive pressures;
- repeat these movements a few times until the air has separated from the oil in the tank.
Tightening the screws and bolts
You can check if any screws and bolts have worked loose using normal commercial spanners/
Allen keys.
If you find any loose parts, tighten them without overscrewing. Go to your authorised workshop
as soon as possible to check the tightness and to find out why they are working loose.

Checks, tests and inspections
Inspecting the structural steelwork of the crane

Check the state of the structural steelwork of the crane, in particular check for cracks and splits,
above all around welded edges and right in the middle of welded joints. Annexes with marked
areas most frequently submitted to faults are provided. If the painting work shows signs of cracking
this could mean that something is starting to wear. If you should notice these signs or any other
anomalies, contact EFFER Technical Service department urgently.
The crane structure must be checked and inspected thoroughly once a year by authorised tech-
nicians (according to ISO 9927-1 - ISO 12482-1).
Note Drawings in the annexes are a useful example, but inevitably not complete.

Inspecting the hydraulic system

Check the state of the rigid pipes and flexible hoses, the pipe fittings and the valves. None of
these parts must show signs of oil leaks, impact, squashing or any other types of damage. Check
the integrity and the efficiency of the mud-scraper gaskets of the jacks, which clean the stem as
they retract. Also check if the stems are not excessively covered in oil, as this could mean that
the internal gaskets are damaged.
Note The fittings used in the hydraulic circuit may leak oil in the joining points, espe-
cially during the first months of use.
If you should notice any anomalies, contact EFFER Technical Service department urgently.
The hydraulic system of the crane must be checked and inspected thoroughly once a year by an
authorised workshop (extraordinary service).
Checking the hooks, cables and lifting accessories

All the accessories and cables must be checked prior to use and tested once every 3 months if
used normally, especially following extraordinary oscillations. If you should suspect any damages
that are not visible and also when you notice signs of wear you should write the jobs down in
dedicated data sheets (see tables and inspection register). However you shall comply with the
laws and regulations in force.
Hooks – rings – clamps – clips – cable terminals

These checks are made to find the following:
Hook deformations cuts stretching cracks

r i n g s , c l a m p s , deformations squashing cuts
clips, cable ter- stretching play in pins cracks
minals
The material must be replaced when:
- there is a reduction in any point of the cross section of more than 10%;
- the accessory has been strained, exceeding the flexible limit of the material with permanent stretch-
ing of more than 7% compared to a new piece;
- there are visible cuts and cracks
Chains
The chains must be replaced when:
- the reduction in the diameter of the link ring exceeds 10%;
- the link stretches more than 5% along the whole length of the chain;
- the links are joined with metal wire or other solution;
- some links are excessively worn, visibly cracked or their shape is permanently deformed.
Cables
To ensure operating safety, the cables must be checked, replaced and serviced according to the
provisions of standard ISO 4309/90. The following are general indications, for further information
refer to the cable manufacturer.
Type of non-turning cables Maximum nr. of broken

wires along a length
equal to
6d 30d
A4/ALC-A5-A6-A6L-A7 ≤ diam
1 2
24 mm
A6-A7 ALC ≥ diam 24 mm 2 4
Note The type of cable is indicated in the technical data

- type of breakage and number of wires broken.

- point and chronological sequence of the breakage of the wires;
- reduction in the diameter of the cable through use (wear);
- corrosion, abrasion, deformation of the cable;
- effects due to heat;
- total period the cable has been sitting in its seat.
Check the ends of the join in particular (cable terminal attachment zone, thimbles, attachment to
drum).
The individual elements of the cable transmission, the drums and the rollers must turn freely in
their supports. The shape of the cable must not be impressed on the grooving of the base.
Note: Bear in mind that is quite difficult to notice breakages, because the ends of the
broken wire remain in their primitive position and do not stick out of the cable.
To find these types of breakages you need to remove the grease and run a soft
piece of wood along the cable, bending it by hand so that the ends lift out and
can be seen more clearly.
When counting the broken wires, consider those that have visibly reduced in diameter by 50%
less than the original and also those that have reduced in diameter due to corrosion. It takes a lot
of practice and experience to evaluate internal corrosion (see standard ISO 4309/90).
Danger
Note: The overlapped cable turns on block may cause serious damage to the cable,
because of the torsion stress caused.
Rejecting the cables
WARNING!
Cables are to be rejected as soon as one of the following damages is noticed:
- breakage of a strand
- presence of cavities in the breakage of the wires
- number of wires broken, as defined in table
- helical deformation by over 1/3 of the diameter of the cable (fig. 1)
- braiding of the wires (fig. 2)
- wires bulging out from the cable (fig. 3)
- reduction in the diameter of the cable by 7% compared to the rated diameter
- loosening of the cable structure (fig. 4)
- contractions of the cable (fig. 5)
- bending or squashing (fig. 6+8)
- sharp bending or permanent deformations in the cable (fig. 7)

5 6
7 8
If you should notice particular damages to the cables, you need to find the cause and eliminate
rapidly and effectively before laying new cables.
Damages and traces of abrasion on constructional elements of the crane may provide
useful information accordingly.
WARNING!
If you have any doubts on the safety of the cables of the crane, reject the cables or
have them examined by an expert for further advice.
WARNING!
If you should realize that the minimum condition for cable replacement has occurred, do
not work with the winch and contact immediately an authorised workshop EFFER.
Ends of the cables

The attachment of the end of the cable must be checked frequently because it is one of the most
delicate and strained points. After you have checked, according to the instructions already explained
in the zone of the cable near the joins, you also need to inspect the joining systems for:
- deformations
- stretching
- squashing
- play in pins
- cuts
- cracks and slits
The cable anchorage system and/or the zone in which the cable is attached must be replace
when:
- there is a reduction in the cross section of more than 5%;
- the material is no longer perfectly flexible, with permanent stretching of over 3% compared to
the new piece;
- there are signs of cuts, cracks, slits, corrosion and play.
Inspecting transmission head and transmission block

Check the state of transmission cable, heads, and block. In particular check for cracks
and warping and make sure the structural resistance of the parts is not endangered by
signs of wear and tear.
Pay special attention to pulley rotation and to excessive play. Check the state of the side
walls containing the cable, which must not have signs cracks and splits, warping.
Note The wear and tear of the cable groove shall not exceed the limit shown in the
picture (the groove base line is lowered more than ¼ of the cable diameter).
Check also the good condition of locking pins and retainers.

00762229A
Operational check of the safety devices
As regards the check of the safety devices, see specific sections (when mounted)
In general, before any working schedule, you have to check the safety devices and the overload
stop.
Push the emergency buttons one by one and then move the control levers: the crane shall not
move.
- Operate the crane overload blocking devices by using the limit switch on the 1st arm hydraulic
cylinder (or by pressing the Reset button): the outputs of the crane extensions and winch must not
be permitted and the acoustic and visual warnings (lights, indicator lights, displays and gauges)
must be activated. Then unblock the crane using the reset button and/or extension return stro-
kes.
- Repeat the same operations bringing the winch hydraulic cylinder to the end block.
- When present, verify the correct signal on the angular sensor of the second arm that activates
an audible signal when the second arm exceeds 30° from horizontal.
- When present, verify the stabilizer output sensors, verifying the congruency between the actual
position and the position detected by the sensors (remote control display).
- Check the crane block when the stabilizers are not correctly positioned.
- Operate the safety devices on the winch (raise, lower limit switches) to verify blocking.
- Operate the general safety devices, simulating their activation and verifying blocking and ope-
ration (i.e. voluntary audible warning button, rotation block in less stable work areas, etc.)
Cleaning and maintaining the crane
The crane and its main and auxiliary components are to be kept clean at all times to prevent
damages and anomalies.
In particular:
- to prevent gaskets from wearing before time, remove dust, impurities and dirt from the stems of
the jacks, using non-abrasive material and detergents.
- salt on the road, oil, dust etc. scratch protective treatments (paint, galvanisation etc.) causing
increased corrosion, deterioration and consequently anomalies. For this reason it is advisable to
wash down the crane regularly.
- keep handles and mats clean from oil, grease and dirt to prevent slipping and falling.
Warnings on cleaning equipment and systems

- The crane can be washed with water and non-corrosive detergents with neutral pH. You are
recommended to use a fast drying system.
- Wash the crane with the electric system OFF.
- It is strictly prohibited to spray water on and around electric components (near electric boxes,
solenoid valves, connections etc.) or on oil caps with air filter.
DANGER
Risk of short-circuit with serious malfunctioning
- Do not spray high-pressure and/or high-temperature jets on plastic parts, plates, bearings etc.
- Do not spray high-pressure and/or high-temperature jets on greased joints to prevent water from
entering.
- The exceeding lubricant must not be washed out of the joints with high-temperature jets.
- If you use a high-pressure and/or steam wash system, stand 80 cm away from the machine, plus
the water must not be hotter than 60°C.
- Always lubricate after washing.

OVERLOAD TESTS REGISTER

Fill in: Installer
OVERLOAD TEST
Once you have installed the Effer crane it is necessary to run the static test (test static load max.1.25 times the maximum rated load) and the dynamic
test (dynamic load test max. 1.1 times the rated load) according to the terms set by the EN 12999 and Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC.
The stability test should be carried out following the instructions provided by Effer (see Service Manual).
The overload tests cannot be carried out more than three (3) times throughout the service life of the crane.
TEST OF STABILITY
The stability test should be performed according to Effer instructions (Service Manual.
In particular, it is recommended you do not exceed the following test loads specified for the specific crane model: ****
Crane model.............................. joint mode..............................
crane maximum test load: TL = ............... kg on extension at No............... applied to ...............m exemption(*) (yes) o (no) o
M
jib maximum test load: TL = ............... kg on extension at No............... applied to ................m exemption(*) (yes) o (no) o
M
(*) (*) if the box is checked (yes), the test load of stability test is reduced due to structural reasons, referred to the TL provided by standard EN 12999. In this case,
operators should adopt one of the following test methods:
1) if the (TLM) of the articulation is reduced as an exception and the (TL M) of the crane is not as an exception, the test should be com-
pleted only on the crane.
This test validated the calculation. The calibration of the anti-tilting device is based, however, on the worse calculation between the crane
and the articulation.(ISO 4310)
2) if the TLs of both the crane and the articulation are reduced as an exception, TL1 = 1.25 * P to the last crane extension using the
opposite pumping method following the instructions given by Effer, exerting an upward force TL2 from the opposite side of the column, to
induce the same tilting moment as that generated by TL provided by EN 12999 in relation to the tilting line.
Functionality Test
Run a functional test with nominal loads according to Effer instructions.
TEST SUMMARY
The summary data/results of the test are given in the ANNEXED “TEST SUMMARY” form
Note: if the crane is equipped with stability control device with a single position of the stabilizers and without stability control device, the
stability test should only be performed in the case of TEST 1 of ANNEXED form.
- In case of cranes with stability control device with stabilizer variable position, stability tests are performed only in some positions of the
stabilizers with the appropriate TL values (case 1,2,3 of ANNEXED form). The verification of stability in other positions of the stabilizers
is performed with calculations only, as required by EN 12999.
**** (Filling in provided by the installer: Data on the Service Manual):

* The test loads of every crane model (with any indication on exceptions) are given in the EFFER- ST-PRO software (see the website of EFFER):

CONCLUSIONS OF STABILITY TEST

Overload test
The overload stability test has been completed successfully because the test loads have been maintained in static condition
during the rotary motion in the entire configuration range and/or operating area according to the modes indicated in Effer
instructions). The stability of further configurations and/or operating areas according to user manual is ensured by calcula-
tions given in the technical file (in compliance with EN 12999-ISO 4310). During the test, one or more stabilizers or wheels
may lift above the ground, but at least one wheel locked by the parking brake or by other means, remained into contact with
the ground.
After a visual check, no cracks, permanent deformations, cracks in the coating, have been noticed, nor structural damages
to the drives or the electric-hydraulic system.
Functionality Test
The functional stability test has been completed successfully from the moment in which the nominal loads have been locked
by applying suitable safety coefficients in relation to the tilting threshold values. The check tests on safety devices have
been completed successfully in compliance with the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
NOTE: EFFER instructions for the execution of overload tests can be consulted on the website "www.effer.com” under the
Service Manual section and, however, in the Technical File of the Installer
NOTE: The complete documents related to stability tests are archived in installer’s technical file. (see code/rev. in
section Y2)
** Note: For illustrations of the Stability Test refer to the drawings that correspond to your crane model on the pages
number Y17 and Y18.

NOTE: In this chapter, the reference to standard ISO/dIS 12482.2:2013 should be considered as applicable regardless of
the fact that this standard does not treat the type of EFFER crane specifically.
Each year / or 1000 working hours, the operator is required to record the “CONDITIONS OF USE OF THE CRANE’ / OF
THE ACCESSORIES” in the register attached, in accordance with the instructions below.
Failure to record such data, brings to the end of the warranty conditions.
Type of counter device

This device is used to record the no. of working hours. It is necessary to indicate the type of counter device used.
It can be automatically provided by Effer, or by the installer, or a device activated voluntarily by the operator can be used
too. In compliance with standard ISO/dIS 12482.2:2013, according to the type of device used, there is a different estima-
tion of crane service life. (difference coefficient f1).
Type of work cycles counter

This is the method used to record the crane work cycle with load. It can be performed manually by the operator or esti-
mated by process data or run automatically.
Based on the type of counter there is a different estimation of crane service life calculation by means of difference coef-
ficient f1 considered by the expert engineer. Such expert engineer is authorized to calculate the service life of the crane
(see page Y30:Y32;Y33).
NOTE: The coefficient f1 has the same meaning according to standard ISO/dIS 12482.2:2013
The minimum values of f1 imposed by EFFER are given in page Y30.
The correct conditions for choosing the coefficient f1 should be established by the expert engineer
No. of working hours

They are intended as a time unit of operation of the crane, according to the expected intermittent use (sum of the
lifting cycle time and rest time).
Both the total no. of hours of work and the partial values must be recorded for each type of use (hook, bucket, basket).
Loading rate
The loading rate represents the level of stress to which the crane is subjected during its use.
Different loading rates associated with the type of work the crane(hook, bucket, basket) and according to 4 levels of stress
are defined as the ratio % between the actual loads lifted, and their maximum loads indicated in the ‘load diagram’ of refer-
ence. The ‘load diagrams of reference’ are related to each type of work (hook, bucket, basket) and are those of maximum
performance (crane with outriggers fully opened / crane performances not reduceed)
No. of lifting cycles

A lifting cycle starts at the moment when the crane lifts the load, and continues up to the moment in which the load is
released and the crane is ready for the next cycle.
NB: By considering the average time of a lifting cycle, the no. of working hours can be a useful assessment parameter to
define the number of lifting cycles.
ROPE CHECKS
The diagram of Running Records for cable checks according to ISO 4309-2010 is attached (see p. 38). In this diagram, the dates of
installation and disposal of the rope are arranged.

MONITORING THE CONDITION OF USE/SERVICE LIFE OF THE CRANE -DWP

Fill in: IE
NOTE: In this chapter, the reference to standard ISO/dIS 12482.2:2013 should be considered as applicable regardless of the fact that
this standard does not treat the type of EFFER crane specifically.
Every 12 months/1000 hours of use of the crane, the data recorder by the operator regarding the “conditions of use of the crane”
should be examined by an expert engineer (**)(IE - tab. W - ISO) calculating the service life of the crane in compliance with the
standard and the design class of the crane/accessory and according to the symbols and the representations of standard ISO/dIS
12482.2:2013 (Fig.1). In the event that, after the examination/calculation of data entered, the dWP (design Working Period) is finished
and the 100% of the structural damage parameter has been reached (Ud=1; Ud%=100%), the (gO/SA) is MANDATORY according
to the indications given by the expert engineer (IE) (see Fig.1).
GO: General Overhaul
SA: SPECIAL ASSESSMENT
N.B. Manual regulation of the above mentioned operating conditions of the crane is not required if the crane is equipped with
“ELECTRONIC COUNTER”. The presence of such device is specifically indicated in the user manual of the crane.
N.B: The expert engineer Responsible with the calculation of crane service life should consider the correct coefficient f1 according to
the method used to count the operating hours and the work cycles. (see page Y30).

N.B: The design class of the crane/accessory corresponding to the end of structural service life (UD%=100) after about 10
years of operating life of the crane (an average of 10000 hours - with irregular use with medium loads.
** in the event of automatic registration of the conditions of use of the crane with the EFFER device. the examination and the
calculation of crane service life can be performed by the staff trained/authorized by EFFER (Table W - B/C/TE/IQ)
WARNING: the calculation of crane service life according to damage parameters UD - UD% is not sufficient to monitor the actual
condition of use of crane service life; actually, it is mandatory to carry out detailed inspections on the structures (using special
instruments, if required). For further indications on the inspections please refer to EFFER user manual and Service manual.
N.B: Should you notice any structural flaws (cracks, welding flaws etc.) before reaching the parameter Ud=1 (UD% =100%),
contact EFFER immediately.

MAINTENANCE/SPECIAL INSPECTIONS (periodic/non-routine)
The special inspections/maintenance, overhauls should be registered in Annex N.
Special maintenance/inspections
In addition to regular periodic maintenance/ inspections according to Effer instructions you may also consider further maintenance/
special periodic inspections according to the following classes:
1- work environment and/or frequency and degree of use of the crane are heavier than the values given in crane design
(see fig.1 Y32). In these cases it is necessary to carry out maintenance/inspections with a frequency below 1000 hours (ex. 500) and
below DUD % = 10% (es. 5%).
These frequencies together with maintenance/inspections are proportional with the degree of use.
2- standards and laws of the country in which the crane is used may impose periodic inspections by third Bodies as per specific
instructions
Non-routine maintenance/inspections
should be performed after exceptional circumstances that may have damaged the crane such as:
- extreme atmospheric conditions
- seismic events
- collisions against other structures
- crane overload (for example an emergency situation)
- fire
- failure
Any repairs/replacements of crane parts should be registered in the Annexes as well
NB: Maintenance/inspection operations to be carried out are given in chapter 9 of the User manual and implemented according to
the case.
SPECIAL MAINTENANCE/INSPECTIONS /OVERHAUL (GO) SPECIAL ASSESSMENT (SA)*
The general maintenance/inspection should be performed in the following cases:
1- when crane service life has finished following the crane service life monitoring described in page Y32 ( UD % =100%)
1- when crane service life monitoring and periodic maintenance/inspections have not been carried out and/or registered according to
manufacturer provisions (used cranes, imported cranes).
General maintenance/inspection should include special instructions/provisions in accordance with ISO/dIS 12482.2:2013.
Critical parts
All critical parts identified by the manufacturer or the qualified person (IE) (see Service Manual - ISO/dIS 12482.2:2013)
should be examined.
In order to perform a correct and complete inspection, unmount the parts that otherwise are not visible (such as the column, the
stabilizers, the articulated tubes etc.) and remove the grease, coating, corrosive residues, if necessary.
For the specifications of the Report and follow-up, see ISO/dIS 12482.2:2013.

Standard EN 12999 - 2011 00 MO00037_1_GB
1.0.1 Permitted installation/rules on use
The loader crane was designed in conformity with Standard EN 12999-2010.

Refer to chapter “3 - Description and technical data” for specifications.
The crane is designed for intermittent use generally at medium, and only occasionally at maximum,
capacity. When put to particularly heavy use, the crane should be given more frequent routine and
supplementary maintenance.
WARNING
Use for very long periods at a time and/or frequent handling at max load capacity could
seriously reduce the life span of the crane.
The crane is generally installed on a commercial vehicle (with trailer) of significant load bearing
capacity. Loader cranes are designed for loading and unloading the vehicle and for other tasks
such as moving or positioning unconstrained loads in all the areas specified in the load diagram
and permitted by the type of installation.
Examples of possible applications (in accordance with the load and installation diagram):
- Lifting loads off the ground at different heights (e.g. placing cement on a roof);
- Construction work (e.g. positioning the beams and structures of a building);
- Positioning palletized construction material from the vehicle on which the crane is installed or
from another vehicle, or from the ground;
- Positioning material in the various areas of a yard;
- Lifting and handling material in wells or ditches with the aid of a winch;
- Positioning tool machines in plants.
Notes It is forbidden to drive the vehicle with the crane in its working position, i.e. not
folded into its transport configuration.
Notes Commercial vehicles are: trucks, road tractors, motor vehicles for special uses,
lorries with trailers, articulated lorries and trailers.
Notes A loader crane installed on a static base should still be considered a loader
crane.
Standard EN 12999 - 2011 00 MO00037_1_GB
1.1 Jacks for the stabilizer feet
Plates for the stabilizer feet
- The plates of the feet (A) (crane and acces-

sories-when available) can be inclined at
an angle of about 10° to compensate for
uneven terrain.
max 10° max 10°
- The pressure applied on the ground by the

plates of the feet (A) (crane and acces-
sories-when available) is always < 4Mpa
(40kg/cm2).
P < 4Mpa (40kg/cm2)

- For models of cranes where the pressure
applied on the ground by the plates of the
feet (A) is more than 4Mpa (40kg/cm2),
additional weight-bearing plates are pro-
vided as standard (B) that can be fitted
under the plates of the stabilizers’ feet.
A
B
P < 4Mpa (40kg/cm2)
Foot support surface

The crane should be installed on hard, compact ground.
In the case the ground is not sufficiently hard or compact (refer to table C), you will need to put
additional supporting plates under the plates of the stabilizers’ feet to prevent the latter from
sinking into the ground.
Standard EN 12999 - 2011 00 MO00037_1_GB
WARNING
If the type of ground can only withstand a pressure
of < 4Mpa, you will need to put down additional
supporting plates under the plates of the stabiliz-
ers’ feet, or ones replacing the plates provided by
EFFER. These additional plates (not provided by standard optional
EFFER) must have a surface (A) of:
> 4Mpa
A (m 2)= Rmax (daN) . 10

P (MPa)
For the data: Rmax - Refer to the Technical Data table of standard
the crane
P (MPa) - Refer to the table (C) below
WARNING
The supporting plates must be strong, resistant to the Rmax, and made of suit-
able materials such as: wood, thermoplastic, steel, etc, and be of a suitable size

Use of the removable supporting plates
Rules
- In the event some of the foot plates lift up 1
when the crane is lifting loads (fig. 1), you
must check the plates move back down to
and lift up again from their correct position
(fig. 2) (the foot plate must be at the centre
of its respective point on the supporting
plate).
= =
If the plates do not reposition themselves correctly, you will need to put the load back down on
the ground and correctly re-stabilize the crane by putting the plates back in their respective
points on the supporting plates.
DANGER
If you do not do the above, there will not be the necessary friction between the feet
and the ground with the risk of damaging/breaking the foot and causing the vehicle
to overturn
Standard EN 12999 - 2011 00 MO00037_1_GB
- The supporting plates should be positioned

on the ground at a max inclination of
10°. max 10°
There must be friction between the foot plate,

the supporting plate and the ground to
ensure the correct operation of the jack.
Slippery substances
To ensure correct friction, make sure there Oil
are no oily or slippery substances or
firm sliding bodies between the various
parts.
The surface on which supporting plates rest

should be as flat as possible and not
so rough as to damage the supporting
plate.
DANGER

1.2 Working conditions
Max inclination of the work area 5°

When the vehicle is at the max inclination of
5° in each direction, it is only possible to max. 30°
work with the booms at an angle of less
than 30°. max 5°
To determine the inclination angle, check

the position of the bubble in the planarity
device. The angle is less than 5° when the
bubble is tangential to the outer circle.
max. 5°
In any case, check the planarity indicator
during the rotating maneuvers to make
sure the inclination does not exceed 5°
due to structural deformities or to giving
way of the ground.
If the vehicle is at an inclination of
more than 5°, execute all the crane
maneuvers, rotation in particular, in a
slow manner

vicinity when the remote controlled crane Light
is in operation.
- If the standard luminous device cannot be
seen in all the work area, the installer
should use another light in addition to
the standard one.
1.6 Tamper protection on the safety devices
- The main safety components (e.g.

pressure/speed/performance limiters,
etc.) have features that allow EFFER
to determine whether they have been
tampered with (coded leading, labels
and glazes, etc.).
The cranes with electronic safety devices
have an electronic system that records
the main acts of tampering directly and,
in some cases, slows down or stops the
movements of the crane.

Standard EN 12999 - 2011 00 16 MO00037_1_GB
Lowering due to hydraulic flow
WARNING
The position of the crane/load does
not always remain static but can vary
according to normal movement of the
oil in the hydraulic circuit. Uncontrolled
lowering of the booms or extending of V max
the extensions is therefore possible, at
a speed that depends on the boom (S).
The max permitted speed is determined S (m)
with this formula:
con S < 12 m Vmax = 0,5 x S (m) = V m/min

con S > 12 m Vmax = 0,2 x S (m) = V m/min
You should therefore take care when parking with the crane open and when the crane has been at
rest for a long while and not been folded.
Notes: You are advised to close the crane or place the crane/load on the ground if it is to
be at rest for more than 30 minutes.
Standard EN 12999 - 2011 00 17 MO00037_1_GB
1.8 Safe stabilizer control

- The operator should only extend the
stabilizers on one side when he is in a
position to monitor them carefully.
- The stabilizer extension controls for
manually controlled hydraulic stabilizers

are situated on the same side as their
respective stabilizers.
To avoid the danger of the stabilizers moving
accidentally, they can only be activated
with a double action control:
1 – selector/switch to activate the stabilizer
function
2 – stabilizer control lever
Below are a few notes on stabilization
controls according to type of crane.
Type A (manual extension of the

stabilizers)
1) to move a foot, open the selector valve (S)
of the same foot; the selector valves (S)
of the other feet should remain closed.
2) use the stabilizer control lever (L) to
extend the stabilizers.

2 - Stability control device
There are two types of stability control device:

- MINIESS (MINI EFFER STABILITY SYSTEM) for cranes with hydraulic and electro-hydraulic
torque limiter: (section 2.1)
- ESS (EFFER STABILITY SYSTEM) for cranes with electronic torque limiter (DMU).
2.1 MINI EFFER STABILITY SYSTEM
- This device guarantees the vehicle’s stability

and prevents it from overturning.
The device checks the following:
1) Full extension of the stabilizers at the
sides
2) Correct positioning of the feet jacks on
the ground (it checks the stabilizers of the
crane and any additional ones, if fitted).
3) The maximum torque of the crane (boom
x load) at which the machine is stable
with the stabilizers in their correct position
(integrated torque limiter device).
The crane can be activated only when the device has determined correct stabilization.
Use of the crane is otherwise disabled.
The device has a control panel.
You should give the stabilizers a visual inspection in any case, to make sure they are
fully extended (yellow reference). Refer also to the instructions in the manual provided
with the crane.
In the case of manually extendable stabilizers, the operator should extend the stabiliz-
ers to their max working limit and fasten them in place with their respective mechanical
devices. This is a voluntary action not controlled by the stability device.
Stability control sensors
The crane is fitted with control sensors that M1 M1

check it is correctly stabilized.
The sensors (M1) on the tubular sections of
the stabilizers (one per extension) check M1 M1
the stabilizers are correctly extended.
The sensors (M2) below or above the tubular

Types of device
There are three types of device according to the functional and technical properties of the EFFER
crane (types 1, 2 and 3).
The selector/switch (B-B1-B2, depending on the type of device), allows you to select movement of
the stabilizers (STAB) or of the crane (CRANE).
Type 1 – Crane with STAB/CRANE selector/switch (B) on the device control panel.
There are two device control panels, one at the main control station (control side) and one at the
secondary control station (double control side). There is a selector B on both panels.

Residual risks
PROHIBITION
The stabilizer controls are disabled when the CRANE function is selected. In the case of
a type 1 device, it is forbidden to use the crane and stabilizer control levers at the same
time as to do so stops the crane and cause damage leading to instability of the load and
undue stress on the structure.
PROHIBITION
In the case of a type 1 device, it is forbidden to use the stabilizer and crane activation
levers at the same time in STAB mode; to do so could cause uncontrolled and damaging
movement of the crane, resulting in undue stress on the structure.
WARNING
When the crane is in use, the red light F switches on only if one or more feet are raised.
The red light does not stop the crane in any way when it turns on. It simply indicates the
crane is at risk of becoming unstable. Another integrated device (torque limiter) deter-
mines the maximum stability and can disable all crane movement.
Closing the crane

Instructions on how to close the crane are given in the operator manual.
Turn the B-B1-B2 selector to select the STAB function.
Retract the stabilizers (refer to the safety notes in section 1.8)
Standard EN 12999 - 2011 00 28 MO00037_1_GB
Voluntary operation of STAB function with operating crane
With the operating crane - open booms

- the operator (double action with
selector + lever ) has the possibility,
on a voluntary basis, to operate the
stabilizers by running the STAB function.
This maneuver is not recommended for
the high risk of tipping, in particular the
foot rise movement.
In any case, you must avoid operating
the stabilizers with the load hanging.
WARNING
IN ANY CASE, the shift from STAB
function to CRANE function requires
the original conditions for stabilizati
on to be recreated, which means that
all the stabilizers shall be properly laid
down on the ground (red warning
light F off).
If this does not occur (for example, as

a result of the conditions of
deformation of the frame with a
loaded crane), the crane controls will
be inhibited.
There is the risk of being

unable to move the crane any longer
and remaining at a deadlock with
the booms opened.
Before making this move make sure that you can recreate the initial conditions for stabilization.
If the selector has been switched to STAB function and you cannot recreate the original condition
s for stabilization, it is possible to use the emergency by-pass function with the sole purpose of
carrying the load safely.
WARNING
When using the crane, if the selector is UNNECESSARILY switched from
CRANE function to STAB function, this can lead to a crane deadlock as mentioned
above. This can happen if, when it is switched, there is even one stabilizer foot
not properly laid down on the ground.
Standard EN 12999 - 2011 00 29 MO00037_1_GB
Bypass function during stabilization
WARNING
The bypass button (1), on the device’s
electric box, allows you to disable the
device in the event of an emergency.

In emergency situations, the device no
longer controls stability and there is a
danger of the crane overturning.
There is a coded seal label (2) on the 2 3

bypass selector that allows EFFER to 1

the sides of the same. Fully extend the exten-
sions of the stabilizers and stand the feet
jacks on the ground.
On the control panel, the red LEDs e1-e2-e3-
e4 turn off when the respective stabilizers B2
are extended, and the red LEDs P1-P2-P3-
P4 turn off as each foot meets the ground.
The green OK LED turns on when all the
stabilizers are extended and all the feet are
on the ground (complete stabilization), and
the crane is ready for use. (The B, B1 or B2
selector is enabled).
In this case all the wheels of the truck must be in full contact with the ground.
WARNING
-The device has to detect that the crane is correctly stabilized (Extended stabilizers
and support feet - all the red LEDs off and the green OK LED on) before you can open
and use the crane, otherwise the crane controls are disabled.
WARNING
When working in crane mode, a foot could lift off the ground or could simply be
discharged while working. This situation is immediately shown on the control panel
by the LED corresponding to the foot that has lifted off the ground, which lights up.
When the red LED lights up, an intermittent buzzer triggers to warn the operator so
that the crane movements can be slowed automatically down.
Standard EN 12999 - 2011 00 33 MO00037_1_GB
If, while the crane is moving, a second foot should lift off the ground the crane is
blocked. The operator is warned of this situation via the display of the device but also
via a continuous buzzer. In this emergency situation only the movements needed to
restore normal working conditions may be performed (configuration with one foot
raised at the most):
a) retract crane extensions; b) retract jointed extensions; c) lower winch.
WARNING
If there is a remote control you need to press a manual button on the side of the truck
you wish to control the stabilizers.
Refer to the notes in the chapter “Safe stabilizer control” of section 1.8.

Bypass device function
WARNING
The Bypass G button, on an electric box (H) in a protected area near the stabilizer
control distributor, allows you to disable the device in the event of an emergency. In
emergency situations, the device no longer controls stability and there is a danger of
the crane overturning.
There is a tamperproof coded seal label (L) on the bypass G button that allows EFFER
to determine whether the device has been tampered with.
To activate the bypass function:

Remove the adhesive (L) and the protective plug (T).
- Select the CRANE function by turning the selector (B-B1-B2) to CRANE and pressing and
holding the bypass button (G) for two seconds.
WARNING
After taking the measures to exit

Maximum length of extension foot with ball joint Prep. (UTD) T. Ceccardi
Istruzioni per la determinazione della lunghezza massima - l max - della prolunga piede
in presenza di snodo sferico.
Le prolunghe piede consegnate in dotazione devono essere opportunamente dimensionate in funzione dell'altezza
del telaio dell'autocarro (vedi Service Manual).
In presenza di snodo sferico NON E' POSSIBILE sfruttare tutta la lunghezza originale - L1 - della prolunga.
La lunghezza della prolunga deve essere ridotta come da istruzioni.
Per determinare la lunghezza - l max - sfruttabile occorre procedere nel modo seguente:
l max = l1 - 100 mm.
ATTENZIONE: se non si osservano le istruzioni soprariportate vi è il rischio di danneggiare il martinetto
piede, con possibile conseguente ribaltamento dell'autocarro.
Instructions to set the maximum length - L max - of foot extension in case of ball
joint fitted.
Foot extensions delivered must be appropriately sized, depending on the height of the truck chassis (see Service
Manual).
In a ball joint is fitted, all the original length of the extension - L1 - CAN NOT BE used.
The length of the extension should be reduced as per instructions.
To set the correct length available - L max - follow the instructions below:
L max = L1 - 100 mm.
WARNING: If these instructions are not followed, there is the risk of damaging the foot cylinder, with
possible, consequent overturn of the truck.
